Herpes: the blister that hampers your laughter

P-A-I-N is something that reminds us of a doctor immediately. Wherever there is pain that means something within the body is not ok. The inner harmony, inner equilibrium in the body is not at ease. Thus it is called as dis-ease.  

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”  ― C.S. Lewis 

This pain is sign of major concern which makes us rush to the doctor immediately. The doctor gives a pain killing medicine or an injection and we are free from pain. We are back to our original selves. This is one way to look at pain. The modern medicines are wonderful in allaying the pain but the effect is temporary many times.  

“Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.”  ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 

The other way to look at pain is to understand something deeper about our body. Something at an energetic level is not at ease. Our mind, body and soul are not aware of this dis-ease; we have kind of numbed ourselves from the so called disease. This cry of the body was to awaken us of some inner disharmony.  

It is very rare that patients approach a homoeopathic clinic for pain. In my earlier days of practice I remember few patients had scheduled their appointment, however when the receptionist called the patients said doctor I am in pain I will see you later. I wondered as a doctor it’s my duty to allay the pain of the suffering souls.  

Then I realized that there is one strong belief among many clients that homoeopathy is SLOW ACTING. It takes time may be 3 months, 6 months, 9months, one year or even more for patients to get well. This myth is not only among common people but many homoeopathic doctors too. Honestly speaking after 10 years of experience in seeing patient being treated by my teachers and some being treated by me I can confidently say that homoeopathy is not slow acting at all. It’s a complete myth that homoeopathy is slow.   

I would like to share a case to demonstrate the effectiveness of homoeopathy in treating herpes – one of the most painful conditions to have.  

This was a case of a lady who developed some eruptions around the waist line on the right side. There is burning as if warm water has been spilled over it. She feels as if something is biting over there. She could not rest on the right side, as lying on the right side caused agony. There is nothing that gives her relief. Due to this illness she has been confined to her house. She has been a very active lady all her life, she likes to go out, meet people, go for kitty parties and this used to give her lot of fun and amusement. Sitting home makes her feel bored; just watching television and doing nothing. An appropriate homoeopathic medicine was selected on the symptoms and her nature. In 4 days time the eruptions started getting drier. The pain and eruptions are 40% better and in a week 10 days time complete relief. No eruptions no pain.  

Herpes is known to produce severe neuralgic pain along the course of nerve. This pain is more common in older people and it can lasts for months. In this case we see that when a right homoeopathic medicine is administered one abort the progress of disease very soon.  

This is another case of homoeopathic doctor developed herpes at the corner of the mouth on the right side. He had eruptions filled with some liquid within them. He was extremely scared of these coming, almost going into a panic like state. Being a doctor he was aware of the consequences which intensified his fear even more. He was given a suitable homoeopathic remedy and to his surprise the eruptions disappeared in 4 days and there was no pain. Not only did the herpes go away but also his fear of something serious might happen also vanished. 

This is the beauty of homoeopathic medicines. The action is not local. The doctors who practice classical homoeopathy take into consideration the entire human being – his disease, feelings, thoughts, fears, nature, dreams, stressful situations and the reactions. All this is studied in totality and a suitable remedy is selected.  

As we see in the cases above both had herpes but one had on the waist, other near the mouth. Both had a completely different set of mind state or nature. One wanted to enjoy and felt bored where as other was scared. All this is studied carefully before selecting a homoeopathic medicine.  

The same rules apply to other conditions too; homoeopathy has a wide scope in treating the so called incurable diseases. The scope of this alternative form of medicine is as wide as sky. It needs co-operation from clients to give us the clear symptoms and an efficient homeopathic prescriber.  

·       Continue to ignore your symptoms, and experience a slow increase in discomfort, which will correspond to a decrease in your overall health. 

·       Treat your symptoms with the latest drugs or painkillers and creating short term relief and long term damage to the rest of your body or  

·       Listen to your body and begin applying a holistic approach to wellness. Treat the whole being, not just the symptoms.  

So choice is yours………
